Will Percocet Help Me To Dilate More?
I wanted to know if percocet will help me to dilate more? I went to the er yesterday because my contractions were 3-5 minutes apart. I was 2cm and 60% effaced. They gave me 2 percocets and sent home. I really haven t been feeling my contractions that much since then. Was my contractions supposed to stop?

Hello dear,
You were given percocet and sent back because,your contractions were not true labor pain/active uterine contractions.These false contractions will go away with rest,sedation and drugs like percocet.Also,condition of your cervix suggest you were not in labor.You need not worry;just relax and wait for true contractions,which will be coming in regular intervals,and progress in intensity as well as frequency.
Take care,Thank you.
